LOUIS W. WI'IRY, 0F WATERLOO, IOWA, ASSIGNOR T0 WATERLOO GASOLINE ENGINE COMPANY,

or WATERLOO, IOWA.

Application filed December 30, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis IV. lVI'rRY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Internal-Combustion Engines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in internal combustion engines, and the object of my improvement is to supply a gasilier for vapors of heavy hydrocarbons adapted to be heated by conducted heat from the exhaust gases passing from the engine.

This object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is an end elevation of an inter nal combustion engine with my improved gasilier attached, the latter in longitudinal section.

2 is a medial cross-section of Said gasitier.

Fig. 8 is a plan view of the part broken away, along the Fig. 1.

Similar numerals of reference denote c0rresponding parts througl'iout the several news.

The engine shown, has two cylinders 3 and 4, supplied with exhaust-ports 13 and 14. and with inlet-ports 5 tively, the latter converging to term one channel in. the c \-*linder-casing to communicate with the single port 12- ot the gasitier, 1, the latter being secured upon said caSinfI by an ap n'opriate means.

The gasilicr 1. consists of a single casting, having an opening in commuuication with.

gasitier, with line a-b of Specification of Letters Patent.

an exhaust-pipe 7.

and ('3, respec- Iatented July 17, 191?. Serial No. 139,755.

Said gasitier also has an opening .1? in communication with a carbureter (not shown The gasilier contains a longitudinal passage 11 connnunicating at each end with the exhaust-ports l3 and 14 respectively, said passage communicating by means of an opening 10 with the exhaust-pipe 7. The port 15 effects communication between the carburetor and annular channels 9 passing around the middle of the inner tube '16 through which the channel 11 passes, said channels leading into the port 13 and the inlet-channels 5 and G of the engine. Vapors of a heavy hydrocarbon which pass from the carburetor through the port 15 and annular channels 9 to the port 12 around the heated tube 16 containing hot exhaust-gascs, is split up into such fine particles as to be in a proper condition for con'ibustion in the combustionchamber ot' the engine.

The gasifier is very simple and cheap in construction, and effective in its action.

Having described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: V A. gasifier for an internal combustion engine, consisting of a single casting having a longitudinal passage communicating at opposite ends with the exhaust-ports of a two-cylinder engine, and having a medial delivery port for said passage, and also containing a channel in communication with a carlmreter and arranged about the said passage and a branched exteriorly located manitold in communication between said ehan .ncl and the inlet-ports of said engine.
